Description

Device and method for measuring space angle resolution laser scattering loss of non-cladding optical fiber
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of optical fiber loss testing, in particular to a measuring device and a method for measuring space angle resolution laser scattering loss of a non-cladding optical fiber.
Background
The optical fiber is an important light transmission device, the transmission loss of light in the optical fiber is far lower than that of electricity in a cable, so that the optical fiber becomes an important long-distance optical signal transmission carrier, and the loss of the quartz optical fiber used in the conventional communication waveband is lower than 0.2 dB/km. However, with the change of the wavelength band and the material of the optical fiber, the optical loss, especially the scattering loss, of the optical fiber is still a key bottleneck problem affecting the optical fiber application. The reasonable loss measurement technology and method are adopted to evaluate the optical fiber, key factors influencing the optical loss of the optical fiber are searched and controlled, and the key technology is a core key technology for improving the performance of the optical fiber and meeting application requirements.
Currently, the optical loss measurement of the optical fiber generally adopts a cutting method and a back scattering method. The cutting method is that the light intensity of the output end of the optical fiber is firstly measured (I2), then a small segment of the optical fiber is cut at the input end, the output light intensity of the small segment of the optical fiber is measured to be used as the input light intensity of the whole optical fiber (I1), and the total optical loss A of the whole optical fiber is 10lg (I1/I2). The backscattering method is to measure the attenuation change along the length direction of the optical fiber by using an optical time domain reflectometer so as to obtain the length resolution characteristic of the optical fiber loss. Both methods measure the total optical loss of the fiber, including absorption and scattering losses.
The absorption loss of the optical fiber is caused by the optical fiber material and the impurity elements therein, while the scattering loss is caused by the loss of optical power leaking out of the fiber core due to the atomic density micro-fluctuation in the components of the optical fiber material or the structural defect of the optical fiber waveguide. The former is mainly determined by the optical fiber material characteristics and can be obtained by measuring the optical absorption coefficient of the drawn optical fiber preform; the latter is mainly related to the optical fiber manufacturing process, and the formed optical fiber must be measured and characterized.
The single crystal fiber loss measuring instrument invented by Dong Miao et al can measure the total scattering of a short fiber of 2-40cm, AND A.Harrington also reports a method for measuring the total scattering loss of a section of fiber using an integrating sphere (CRAIG D.NIE, SUBHABRATA BERA, AND JAMES A.HARRNTGON, Growth of single-crystal YAG fiber Optics [ J ], Optics Express,24(14),2016: 15522). These methods are all directed to measuring the total scattering of a section of optical fiber, and there is no apparatus or method for measuring the angular resolution of the spatial distribution of the scattering of the optical fiber. The spatial distribution characteristic of the scattered light is closely related to the structural defect characteristic in the optical fiber, and the method is an important means for inverting the structural defect characteristic.
